Remember all my inspiration I posted yesterday? Behold.It was mainly the collage that inspired this outfit that I wore to school yesterday, but the editorials (Coco, specifically) were too insane in the membrane not to post. Picnik has way too many awesome effects to choose from and it was hard narrowing it down to these, but there are more on my Flickr, along with detail shots.

My nose is very prominently clown-like, but it works quite well here.The mask is a gift from Venice, the gloves and top hat were found in the family dress up box, the dress was bought at a theater that was getting rid of costumes, the tights are from american apparel, and the scarf is my mom's.

Hello. I'm new blog reader of yours. I enjoy reading and seeing the imaginative and quirky styles you come up with. Anywho if you are looking for a photo editing software you should try out these free online apps called pixlr.com and a.viary.com's pheonix editor. I use both of them and are good photoshop substitutes

Hey, so I've read your blog a bit but have never commented before, but I had to say: These. Photos. Are. Fantastic. Everything works together perfectly, and the venetian mask is an especially great touch.

This is genuinely creative, you know. Not just the fashion -- the photography. I don't even recall how I came across your blog about a month ago but I've been extremely impressed by both the verve you show in your styles, and the growth in skill you've manifested in presenting them visually and in your writing.

Stick with it -- all of it. If you feel like you've found your calling, well, perhaps you have.

I loveee your blog.Your writing style is so unique and interesting, it "grabs the readers attention" as English teachers say. I have the same question as fairy queen, how did you manage to get so many readers?I've just started one and want more people to visit.

The last photo in the series is, to my eye, the most striking. The siding in the image is almost like rays of the sun pointing to or emanating from you, or it could almost be interpreted as an angelic hint, a being of lift and light spreading her wings and getting ready to fly. A dove, a goddess, an angel or a dream -- there are lots of possible meanings behind that one stark photo.

Added to the mystery is the total blackness around your features, which suggests the void in the best ways -- becoming, preparing to find the light, growth and blossoming.

You might not have consciously intended any of that, but the symbolism is rich, and I've found in my own creative career that the best things I've ever done have been spur-of-the-moment things that just felt right in some way; and only later, after some thought, have I realized how weirdly profound it was.

That final photo is like that, as is the one you posted a few days ago with your shoes over the red leaf.

This is a beautiful thing you are doing here. Please keep doing it, whatever it is -- just let your heart and imagination guide you, as they have been so far.

The tomorrow you are making for yourself now is unbelievably rich, in the best sense of the word. I see profundity in nascence; I see a light and energy that truly could change the consciousness of all those it touches. I know how bizarre that seems -- you're just trying on clothes and putting images online and such -- but this is a rare jewel you're presenting here, and I would not be a fan if I didn't see something genuinely worthy in your work.

Stay with it, play with it, love and enjoy it. Keep being the girl who wants to beat up Shredder, and I'm pretty sure you'll be a woman who will energize, enable and empower thousands, possibly millions.

And Warren, thank you so, so much. If I knew HTML I would make that "so" italicized. I'll carry what you said with me. When I took the last picture I wanted there to be a silhouette, and that you couldn't make out my features. To begin with I wanted it to be against a blank wall so the profile stood out more, but you make an excellent point. Did I say thanks? Thanks :)

For fairy queen and maddi, Belle of Fashion Pirates and I will be doing a vlog collaboration in which we talk about blog popularity and comments and such. I don't want to say everything right here, so just stay tuned for that!

Thank you guys! And foolfashion, such a sweet post! <3OMGZ, free photoshop? Holy shit. I actually have it but can not figure it out for the life of me so I hope the online one is easier.I'm glad I improved your opionion of sevies, sixthies, and eighthies, jew. If it makes you feel any better I play Zoombinis a lot and have ever since first grade.

see, the fact i know exactly what you are refering to there undercuts your reassurances, but i appricaite the thought. you're so nice to a lowly wears-a-variation-on-the-same-outfit-once-a-week, maskless, top hat-less plebian...

These pictures are seriously beautiful. I'm really impressed by your photographic eye. Anyone who loves clothes and photography is definitely awesome in my book. And the outfit in the pictures is pretty swell as well.
